This Bantam Books (1972) edition presents the story of patients in a Soviet hospital, using the “cancer ward” as a powerful metaphor for the moral and political state of the USSR under Stalinist rule. Based on the author’s own experiences, the novel is a testament to the resilience of the spirit and a haunting critique of totalitarianism.
